5 Bedroom Detached House, Parr Close, Northstowe, CB24

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone for this exceptional home, offering a spacious and welcoming introduction with a feel of quality throughout. A beautifully crafted painted wood staircase is complemented by bespoke wall panelling, while a striking herringbone floor flows seamlessly throughout the ground floor, enhancing both continuity and a modern finish. The impressive double-fronted design provides two elegant principal reception rooms, each benefitting from large bay windows that flood the interiors with natural light. The formal sitting room is centred around a contemporary log-burning stove, framed by a panelled feature wall and flanked by bespoke fitted cabinetry and shelving. The second reception room, currently arranged as a family room, mirrors this exceptional standard with custom-designed storage solutions that combine style with practicality.

The ground floor cloakroom is finished to an equally high specification, featuring upgraded fittings and bespoke wall panelling that reflect the meticulous attention to detail evident throughout the property.

Undoubtedly the heart of the home, the stunning kitchen has been thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners to deliver both outstanding design and premium functionality. A comprehensive range of sleek wall and base units is complemented by quartz work surfaces, coordinating upstands and tiled splashbacks. Integrated appliances are seamlessly incorporated, while full-width bi-folding doors open onto the professionally landscaped rear garden, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living — ideal for both entertaining and everyday family life. A separate utility room and stylish home office further enhance the practicality of the ground-floor accommodation. Lastly, there is a much-requested office, providing the perfect space to work from home.

The first floor is approached via an impressive galleried landing, with access to a boarded loft and leading to five generously proportioned bedrooms. Bedrooms one and two benefit from luxurious en-suite shower rooms, all with custom-designed fitted furniture, while a beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. There is also a full height loft, fully boarded for storage and with two light points installed.

Externally, the property continues to impress with a garage, professionally partially converted with underfloor heating, to create a further home office, garden studio or gym, separate to the main house. There is a driveway with EV car charger, in addition to allocated parking spaces situated within a bay to the front of the house.

This property also benefits from solar panels installed with a 6.5kWH battery and a solar water heater.

The professionally landscaped rear garden has been designed with entertaining in mind, featuring a manicured lawn, porcelain-paved terrace and elegant pergola. A dedicated outdoor seating and barbecue area is framed by raised, well-stocked borders and enclosed fencing with carefully chosen trees to provide both privacy and a tranquil setting for outdoor enjoyment.
